I may be more rigid when it comes to ethics than I should be. I have a hard time viewing ethics through a lens that changes with the culture/society/individual or time under observation. I am not saying that isn't the correct way...just saying I have hard time doing that. I guess that I tend towards the view that there are some universal absolutes / hard lines when it comes to ethics. I never would have made it as a Star Trek crew member trying to follow the Prime Directive (if you are familiar with that), but which essentially includes the idea of leaving the cultural norms of others alone at all costs even if they are blatantly unethical but your standards.

A good example quandary in today's world may be woman's rights -- something very ingrained in cultures and societies and also so varied. And an example pondering might be "Are woman's equal rights universally ethically or should the ethics instead be viewed through a cultural and/or time lens?"
